To our Coptic brothers and sisters,
The EOC will be commemorating St Cyril of Alexandria next Thursday, June 9th. I plan to attend Liturgy that day to soak in the wisdom of this great saint. Here are the Troparia and Kontakia of his feast day. God bless you all.
Troparion - Tone 8
You were manifest as divinely inspired, O Cyril:
A guide to the Orthodox Faith, a teacher of true worship and purity,
Star of the universe and companion of Bishops, O wise one.
Through your light you have illumined all, O harp of the Spirit,
Therefore intercede with Christ God that our souls may be saved!
Kontakion - Tone 4
Through the power you received from Christ, O Cyril,
You answered the questions of heretics
Enriching the Church with true teaching,
And weeding out the errors of Nestorius;
Therefore O blessed one,
You now stand before Christ with the choirs of angels,
Ever interceding that He may grant forgiveness of sins to us all.
